Help with Royal Naval Allotment Books and Records circa 1808 - 1815?

[BushInn1746]

Hello

I've been taking advantage of this last FindMyPast weekend and I wonder if anyone more familiar than me with Royal Navy records can provide any assistance with the quote and if I can find any more information online in Naval records regarding George Hood's Birthplace and age, please?

Thank you, Mark


EDIT: I could only find a few images of Ship's Books online (not the ACASTA it seems) on the subscription site and wondered whether I was searching right?

Thanks Claire and dobfarm

British Royal Navy Allotment Books - George Hood (transcribed as 1808 - 1814)
Ship ACASTA
George Hood, Mother Eliz'th ("By whom paid" Ex Berwick) ...

"When allotted" (on the ACASTA looks to be date)
25 Ap 1811.

"Why Allotment ceases"
"When"
15 July 12 [1812]

"Where"
[blank]

and column
"D"
"DD"
"or R"

He hasn't been DD [which is claimed to mean Discharged Dead] or D,
but looks like "D/q" [Discharged quarters, at a guess??]


"To what time paid"
15 July 12 [1812]

If his Service began as transcribed by FindMyPast (1808 - 1814), then there must be another record, of this somewhere?

Perhaps this George Hood spent most of his R.N. life in Quarters and not at Sea and the ACASTA was his only Ship, or was he transcribed on FindMyPast as George Wood?

There are seven Muster Books for the ACASTA 1808 to 1812 in ADM 37
(nothing listed from 1 Nov 1809 to 30 March 1811)

Two Pay Books in ADM 35 covering 1806 to 1815

There are two Master's Log Books April 1811-1813 (with a short break) in ADM 52 and Captain's Log Books Feb 1805 to Feb 1806 and April 1811 to August 1815 in ADM 51.

Hopefully a Birthplace location looks hopeful.


However, are any online please with a Birthplace location and age for George Hood on the ACASTA?

Thank you, Mark
